In context
24When they heard it, with one mind they raised their voices to God: “Master, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them. 25You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David, your servant: ‘Why did the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain? 26The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.’ 27It is true: in this very city they gathered against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed — Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel — 28to do whatever your hand and your purpose had decided beforehand should happen.
